Huskers Complete First Week of Fall Camp
Lincoln --- The Nebraska football team finished the first week of fall camp on Sunday with a 2 ½ hour afternoon practice, splitting time between Memorial Stadium and inside the Hawks Championship Center. The Huskers moved inside during a water break because of possible inclement weather entering the Lincoln area.
NU offensive coordinator Shawn Watson noted that the practice – Nebraska’s eighth of the fall -- gave the Huskers another solid day of work in preparation for the season opener on Sept. 1 against Nevada.
“I think we have had a really aggressive installation, and we’ve really pushed our kids mentally as well as physically and they have done an excellent job staying up with the installation and really executing at a high level,” Watson said. “Like every year or every time you go out (on the practice field), you have little things you have to make better; the little things, fundamentals, the little technical things, and we have to tie that stuff down. But overall the guys are having an excellent camp right now.”
With the first week under their belt, the Huskers look to move into the next phase of installations on both sides of the ball starting Monday.
“Starting next week we will have some situational stuff that we will continue to finish up with, and once we’re done with that then we will start to home in on our base plan and keep repeating and repeating,” Watson said. “We’ll work on the little things, the technique and the fundamental things. We have really been aggressive with the installation and when you’re that aggressive with installation, there are a lot of assignments and things buzzing in (the players’) heads. So we’ll just keep pounding it and go back over and over the same things.”
Nebraska returns for its ninth workout of the fall on Monday when the Huskers have a single practice from 3-5:30 p.m.
